Expert Verification of Items under VARK Dimensions in Smart Quran Model Development Instrument in Teaching and Facilitation of Quran Hifz

Abstract

In parallel with the rapid development of tahfiz, various aspects of tahfiz education should be improved. This includes the process of teaching and facilitating Hifz al-Quran in tahfiz institutions to promote the excellence of tahfiz students in memorization. Therefore, this study aims to gain expert opinion and consensus on items under the dimensions of VARK in an effort to develop the Smart Quran Model for the teaching and facilitation of Hifz al-Quran. In this study, researchers used Fuzzy Delphi Method which involved 10 experts in the field of tahfiz education. A total of 20 questionnaire items were given to experts to be evaluated. The data obtained is analyzed using Microsoft Excel software. Items received must meet all three conditions, i.e. the Threshold value (d) is equal to or less than 0.2, the percentage of expert group agreement exceeds 75%, and Amax exceeds α-cut = 0.5. The results showed that the feedback from experts on items under the VARK dimension in the Smart Quran Model Development Instrument agreed that 17 items were accepted and 3 items rejected.
